Charis plays a dangerous game and realises too late that the stakes are far higher than she imagined. Now only her wits, her nerve and her gambler's instincts stand between her and the Pretender's plans for the three kingdoms. And she is very far into enemy territory, and feels so very, very alone.

Dedicated, with enormous gratitude, to my beta Caulkhead and shezan for invaluable suggestions.
